I just came from my DBSA meeting tonight. It was a good meeting at least it got me out of the bed tonight. I had to go cold turkey off my meds because I no longer qualify for a sliding fee at the clinic, and $268.00 for 15 minutes with a PDOC is more than I want to pay for.
I was given some more resources to look into for getting a PDOC and therapist which I desperately need. I am having trouble getting out of the bed. I'm very depressed and scared of myself. I am trying to hold it together all by myself.

I am sorry that youa re feeling this depressed and worry about your safety.
Is there someone in your life who can help you to look into your options? Some of the pharmacueticals have patient assistance programs that give people the medications they need. You really can not go cold turkey off your meds...some of them could cause you permanent damage or seizures if you don't taper off them. this is very serious. Can you go to an er to get some medications? bizi

I have been off for a month now. I'm just depressed but I called the county crisis response center and have an apt for Saturday. I called before I hit rock bottom. Life don't have much meaning now If I hit rock bottom I may not get up this time so I made the call. I am tired of waiting for a SSD court date. My lawyer says 12 to 16 month wait that means I may have a court dat by Dec. So Here I sit no job. no medical and no hope

Have you been diagnosed with bipolar disorder now? Do you have a regular doctor who can write perhaps an rx for an antidepressant for you while you wait to see a pdoc?
Is there some one else in your life to help you do this? I am so sorry that you are this depressed. It is a very bad place to be...Please accept this hand to help you out of the pit.... ((((HUGS)))) bizi

Hello it is good to hear that you are attending support meetings to help you gain some of the support you need at this time. There are pharmaceutical companies to help you get free medication. Free medicine program can be found on the internet and they have an 800 number to call to get the information you need to get free medication if you qualify. You will call and ask them to send you a packet of information to take to your Dr to fill out for free medication.I hope the best for you in the future. Take care Soidhonia

Got this off another site;
It only takes a few minutes to get a lot of help: www.pparx.org Or 1-888-4PPA-NOW Have the entire list of your meds handy & names of the prescribing docs and you can enter them all in. Many of the programs have printable option where you go to a link and can print the app right then. At least try it, you have nothing to lose. bizi Just found this on another part of this site... "There are a number of ways you can reduce the amount you pay for prescription drugs, such as: Switching to lower cost generics or different brands with the same or similar effectiveness, taking a shorter-acting drug more frequently, using non-prescription drugs as alternatives and many more. Here is how Rxaminer works: Compare the price of your medication. Review your Drug Cost Analysis report to identify lower cost options. Print the Drug Cost Analysis report and decide with your doctor which medication is best for you to reduce your out of pocket cost Discover Lower Cost Options! http://www.rxaminer.com/consult/index.asp?search=start __________________ found this for you... bizi

I get my meds from www.needymeds.com
I am also being seen by the local MHMR (Mental Health Mental Retardation). Maybe there is one in your area. Hope you are better real soon!
